Send Radio Message
Our micro:bits have built-in Bluetooth radio that lets them communicate with each other. This is super handy for sending and receiving messages to other agents (even in another room!), broadcasting a warning to everyone on your team, or even sending a secret message.
We’re going to start by learning to send and receive a message on the radio.
Facilitator guides the students through “Send Radio Message” Project.
Read a Beacon
One really important use of the Radio is being able to communicate with agency tech.
You might have to send the correct sequence of your own messages to receive your intel. Keep in mind that you need to find the right radio group to communicate on, otherwise there won’t be a link of communication
